How could dairy cause acne you must be thinking??!? Dairy products are made from milk produced by lactating (yesss!!! Grosss isn't it???) and pregant cows exposes us to the hormones produced by the cows' pregnancy. These hormones are not designed to be consumed by humans. In nature, milk is consumed until weaning occurs. At this stage, the mother stops lactation before becoming pregnant again.

A certain Dr. CJ. Fisher conducted a clinical study of more than thousand teenagers and concluded to the American Dermatological Association that milk was a principal contributor to some patients' acne. He found that acne reduced when milk consumption went down. Dr. Fisher believes that the fat and sugar in milk causes acne. He also suspected that the hormones in milk (produced by pregnant cows) break down into androgen, which stimulates the production of sebum. Sebum is the waxy substance secreted by the skin glands that eventually clogs the skin pores and so creates them ugly pimples.
